Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss Following Electric Shock: A Case Report with Literature Review.

Iran J Otorhinolaryngol

January 2025

Senior Resident, Department of ENT and Head & Neck Surgery , All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bathinda, Punjab, India.

Introduction: Electric shock occurs when electricity passes through the body, causing a range of symptoms from mild tingling to potentially life-threatening injuries such as burns, seizures, and cardiac arrest. In rare cases, Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) has also been associated with an electric shock.

Case Report: A 35-year-old male presented with left-sided hearing loss following an electric shock.

Background and objective Viral infections caused by cytomegalovirus, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, varicella-zoster virus, herpes simplex type 1 and type 2, rubella, measles, rubeola, HIV, West Nile virus, Lassa virus, and mumps are known to be associated with hearing loss. There have been reports of inner ear involvement in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients but the extent and variations in cochlear involvement of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients has not been adequately described. This study aimed to evaluate the hearing status among symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 patients to address the prospects for routine screening for hearing loss in COVID-19 patients.

A novel frameshift mutation of SOX10 identified in Waardenburg syndrome type 2.

Hum Mol Genet

January 2025

Department of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, ENT Institute, Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University, No. 83 Fenyang Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai 200031, China.

Waardenburg syndrome type 2 (WS2) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by congenital sensorineural hearing loss, blue iris, and abnormal pigmentation of the hair and skin. WS2 is genetically heterogeneous, often resulting from pathogenic mutations in SOX10 gene. We identified a novel heterozygous frameshift mutation in SOX10 (NM_006941.

Loss of neuronal activity facilitates surface accumulation of p75NTR and cell death in avian cochlear nucleus.

Neurosci Res

January 2025

Department of Cell Physiology, Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya University, Nagoya 466-8550, Japan. Electronic address:

Sensorineural hearing loss causes cell death in central auditory neurons, but molecular mechanisms of triggering this process are not fully understood. We report here that loss of afferent activity promotes cell death by facilitating proBDNF-p75NTR signals in cochlear nucleus of chicks around hatch. RNA-seq analyses revealed up-regulation of genes related to proBDNF-p75NTR-JNK signals as well as apoptosis at the nucleus within 24hours after unilateral cochlea deprivation.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the incidence and characteristics of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) in pregnant and non-pregnant women using the Korean National Health Insurance Service customized cohort data.

Materials And Methods: We defined the delivery group as women aged 15-49 years with International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision codes O80-O84 indicating delivery between January 2013 and December 2019. The control group was selected from individuals in the same age range without a history of delivery during the same period.
